CURRENT MISSION
Growing up in the United States, I was taught at a young age that capitalism was the way to go aka; the more you work, the more money you will make. At this point in time, I have come to realize that if one were to place their worth in terms of dollars and cents, a sense of unhappiness will forever resonate within that individual. My current mission is to learn, teach, be happy and give back to the world.

ABOUT ME
I pride myself on being a polyglot. I speak a few European languages. I enjoy classical music and am a chess enthusiast. My long-term goal is to escape corporate America and migrate to Cambodia with my Cambodian girlfriend (she studies in Houston). I would like to help Cambodians improve their verbal English skills as I know for a fact that there exists an inherent insecurity amongst most non-native English speakers, particularly when conversing with a Westerner.

PHILOSOPHY

To err is human, to forgive divine
